Eternal Youth, Eternal Love

Disgarded Dolls 💫

Lost Boys POV
The darkness loomed over the small dying campfire as the last of the lost boys huddled round, talking and laughing with a slight tinge of hush to their voices. Knowing that Pan would go mad if he was awoken by anything, 'especially the sound of the boys having fun in his absence'.

"So, what do you think of her" the noise trailed off into the wind as the boys thought for a minute.

"Of who?" One of the boys hadn't cottoned on to the hint of the question. "Who do you think, you dummy" one of the older boys yelled, receiving piercing stares from the others.

"Well, I sure do know that Pan's a lucky boy. Always getting the new girls. I guess, she's probably one of the best but what should I care, he's got her under his spell now, give it a month and she'll be in the river, like all of  Pan's other discarded dolls" he tried to hide his slight sense of guilt as the reality struck the boys. The girls were never permanent.

"She seems a little different though. Stronger than the others, did you see how she fought Pan the other day? It's a pity, she's been manipulated so soon. If we don't do anything, within a week, she'll be the carcass of who she used to be. Shame, she the only one we've had in ages who could take on Pan" The boys nodded, it was the truth.

"Has everyone given up hope of getting out of this hell hole" another boy whispered, a flicker of darkness cloaked his eyes for a minute and he checked for the condescending shadow of Pan."Because, if we can, somehow, bring her back, she could be the key to leave Neverland" the boys smiled in excitement! "I told you the prophecy would come true eventually! I knew it" the boys began to re-immerse themselves in talk of their plans and ideas for their escape.

"There's a recipe" A previously shy boy began to pipe up. "I found it in Pan's library, a rehabilitation spell, we can use it to take her out of the trance. You need dreamshade. I've seen it in Pan's room, I'm going to need the rest of the recipe from the library but I think I could do it" the boy looked pleased with his sudden intelligent outburst.

"Pan's taking Lily out tomorrow, relying on the fact, he brings her back, we can gather the ingredients and find the recipe while he's out. We make it then too. And will give it to her tomorrow night, we'll mix it with her water so she won't tell the difference. When she's back to normal, she'll help us escape" The plan was final, the boys received a final smile from Micheal ,the group leader, and headed off to bed.

Tomorrow was a big day. After years of torment and abuse, the Lost Boys we're making a stand.
Micheal turned to the boys for a final time. His lips curved into a thin lipped smile and began to laugh hysterically.

"Peter Pan never fails?.....

We'll see about that...."
